Caesura 03:43
I don't like what I do so we're even I'd prefer me to leave so we're uneven again I give myself strength until I need it Then I bury it deep under indifference This terrifying peace is what I've wanted This deafening silence is a long-awaited friend But now I'm realising why I fought it I knew I'd be alone in the end Alone in the end Nobody knows just how close it's become Then you cut and run And I don't blame anyone Anyone I don't blame anyone Anyone Did I mention I want you? That wherever you go I will come back to haunt you? But I could never confront you Cause I'm no one No one I don't have any plans for this evening I don't have any plans for the next twenty years I still can't decide if it's the real thing I can only predict it will all end in tears I give myself strength until I need it I give myself strength until I'm faced with a choice But now I'm realising what I wanted Was to give in to the sound of your voice The sound of your voice Did I mention I want you Don't know why but I want you Never thought that I'd want you But I know that I want you (Caesura The end is not a start You can't mend your broken heart You can't pretend this hasn't torn me apart) Nobody knows just how close it's become Then you cut and run And I don't blame anyone Anyone I don't blame anyone Anyone Did I mention I want you? That wherever you go I will come back to haunt you? But I could never confront you Cause I'm no one No one So maybe I don't need anyone Maybe all I get is anger at what I've become I never know when I'm done I still don't blame anyone Anyone Did I mention I want you? That I'd bleed myself dry just to taunt you? But I could never confront you Cause I'm no one No one

Man 03:51
What an awful man Does he know how much we Need a better man There's no better man than he Another change of plan But the plan is still the same Another pair of hands Another pair of hands to blame Yet more wasted time That we can't afford Another hill to climb We have no more What an awful man What a devastating shame Here comes another man But the man is still the same We don't love you anymore We don't love you anymore What a sordid place What it could have become What a moral maze What a thorough job we've done Do they know our ways Do they know we mean no harm Can we celebrate Without reaching for our arms Yet more wasted time We've been here before Another hill to climb That they can't afford A million more today What a devastating shame We know other ways But the man is still the same We don't love you anymore We don't love you anymore

Borderline 04:11
I'm gonna wake up from alcohol I'm gonna broaden my mind I'm gonna become the President I'm gonna better everyone's lives Cause my bones have been aching from indifference I'm getting stiff from these old bruises of mine I'm gonna open my eyes on my very last day And realise I wasted all of this time And reach for it all again When I'm calm and unafraid I'll be alive for a while Then life echoes back to where it's safe And I turn my eyes to the fire And in time On my own time I'll cross that borderline I'm gonna gonna stamp out my own freedoms I'm gonna gamble all my liberties on dice I'm gonna welcome the thunder and pray for the rain Then tell everyone it all turned out nice Cause you're life ain't worth shit unless you live a little And it won't leave a scar until you die So I'm gonna wait here for my very last breath And realise I've wasted all of this time And do it all over again When I'm calm and unafraid I'll be alive for a while Then life echoes back to where it's safe And I turn my eyes to the fire And in time On my own time I'll cross that borderline

Unnatural 02:49
Why read a book When there's a movie Why see a movie When there's a TV show Nothing you don't want to know Why read a magazine When I already seen it Why read a magazine I got a digital feed In panoramic widescreen Why send a letter There's so much better Why send a letter I got an electronic postman Increase the size of your hands The way the World evolves From natural to unnatural It's natural to keep it all away There’s too many people The World can’t be peaceful The radio tower Is our church and our steeple Why send a message When you can't even spell it Why send a message When you can shout in the crowd Too busy laughing out loud Why take a pill A contraceptive Why take it at all Just keep knockin ‘em out Keep thinking you should feel proud The way the World evolves From natural to unnatural It's natural to keep it all away In the eyes of God It's natural To hold ourselves accountable What we have made Have we forgot That it's not insurmountable We try to take Enough to ignore Enough to make it comfortable Lives to save Save no more So what are you proposing To help us Meet our own expectations Handle the situation Think I'll go on vacation There’s too many people The World can’t be peaceful The radio tower Is our church and our steeple There’s too many people Why should we be grateful?

I know you're pulling a lot of this weight I know I'm damned if I do and I'm damned if I'll do it again If it's not too late I know I'm causing a lot of frustration I know I'm wearing a lot of your patience away Get over and over it I know you're taking a lot on faith I know the end of your tether is just seconds away And I should be grateful I know you wanted some kind of affirmation I know you're pushing all your limitations away Get over and over it

Poverty 03:44
Night on the roadside Neon lights on the road The cars blowing dust in your eyes A few yards from your home Don't know how you got here Or how long you will stay You'll fight off the cold in your sleeping bag A few yards away Night round the coal fire Your suitcase for a chair Nights when the thought of your life Is damn too much to bear The warm light from their windows Like a beacon that pulls so hard you cannot face it It's just too much to follow It's just too hard to care So you don't care Breathing in indifference Breathing out the truth You spend your life wondering Are you in poverty Or is poverty in you Numb from the cold night The desperation you feel Will these cigarettes last until light Will you find your next meal The hard stares then look away When they recognise that there but for the grace of God go I Breathing in indifference Breathing out the truth You spend your life wondering Are you in poverty Or is poverty in you

The Cut 03:22
As the rain fell They all gathered for the night With their faces pressed against the window They watched the water rise They watched the sky turn black They watched the others die Nothing could go wrong now Said the man who'd led them there Nothing could go wrong now But we must prepare for a long, cold Winter We'll make it through And the first-born were put to sacrifice All the dying Sun had been Was a messenger of Christ And through the rain of centuries It wouldn't take long Before man was just a memory And everything they were was gone At the end of the night Those who remained Crawled out from hiding And said a prayer for the others The earth was devastated But the sky was clear And a message in the clouds to them Don't ever come back here Will I Will I die Will I make the cut tonight To see the storm of light and sound At daybreak when I come around To see the light of tomorrow For the dead of today And the river the rain of centuries made Will wash it all away And the new world would be a paradise All that man's home had been Was too high a price And through the rain of centuries It wouldn't take long Before man was just a memory And nothing more could go wrong

Tense 03:24
Why do you speak without a sound Why do you carry a badge of indifference around Why do you stay quiet in a crowd Why are there only thoughts you cannot say out loud Why do you never speak in words Why are you so afraid that one day you might be heard Why are you still digging in the dirt Why are you still afraid of the people that you've hurt It's only me Of course If only I knew who that really was It's only getting worse If only I could I'd turn everything off Why do you stay inside your home Why do you always think you're better off alone Why would you rather be unknown Why do you always get cut to the bone Why do you give in to your nerves Why do you always give what others don't deserve Why are you so afraid of the World

Awakening 03:44
I'm clutching at straws because that's all I have left So I clutch and come away with a fistful of regrets A handful of anger at the things I didn't get It just remains to push away all this loneliness What a difficult awakening this has become Watch me take it out on everything I love When I wake up Need and want are not so different but not this time Because I can't afford the luxury to pick a side How I wish I had more nerve or maybe none at all How I wish I'd never seen just how incredible you are I could call it obsession or a psychotic break I could call it a struggle with the might of this awakening I know I have failed you in every respect I know you protect yourself With rejection What a difficult awakening this has become Watch me throw away the good things I've done Watch me lose all the beauty that I've ever had Watch me make a hollow shell out of a man When I wake up What a difficult awakening this has become Watch me take it out on everything I love Watch me stab you in the back with your own kindness Watch me stumble and collapse from my own blindness What a difficult awakening this has become Watch me fuck up everything under the Sun Watch me take apart the bonds I had with everyone Watch me take it out on everything I love When I wake up

Intimacy 05:17
Your fire burns warmest in Winter When I'm standing outside My fists bunched in my coat I went walking a half-mile or so Then returned, my shoes heavy with dirt And the rain pounded the back yard all night Patience like this don't come easily Waiting for hours in the October cold An orange light glows from your window A beacon to welcome me in And the night The night can't come soon enough The night will come soon enough If you had shown me the love I deserve You know that I wouldn't be making it hurt There's difficult moments at first But I have rehearsed every second of this in my mind When you've admitted that it's for the best You'll feel the beauty I've made in my head To see us together in death Open your mail on the front porch Mornings are nothing but coffee and smoke The flowers I sent you have died on their stem And they're drying to nothing You don't care Cause you don't know who sent them It's nothing like love on the TV The movies all got it pathetically wrong Love isn't timid attraction Or afternoon walks in the park Love is pain It's committment and sacrifice It's devoting your life But you have confirmed my suspicions I always thought you might not understand I hoped I'd see love in your eyes but instead It's revulsion and fear It's okay But I have a plan I have a plan If you had shown me the love I deserve You know that I wouldn't be making it hurt There's difficult moments at first But I have rehearsed every second of this in my mind When you've admitted that it's for the best You'll feel the beauty I've made in my head To see us together in death

Black Horse 01:36
I wanted a black horse But they gave me a white horse I punished them And now the noose is getting a little tight for me I prayed for a black horse But He gave me a white horse For all the good it did He could have made me a rotting corpse I punished them and now I do feel guilt Yes, but not remorse I punished them and now they know Don't sell a man the wrong horse
12.
Oh mother hear our funeral dirge Do our voices carry your way We broke our backs for your natural coal And you have washed our souls in clay Well I hear they've taken you back so far This simple mountain's your home And crying won't solve all these petty little scars So hold me dear mother and go to your Lord Wretched old demons that scratch at my door Levity's a place I don't go anymore I'm drained and I'm drawn and my hands feel like claws So pack up your troubles and go to your Lord Nightmares feel like I'm still awake Levity's far from this difficult place Lay down my body with limestone and boards Head off the Devil and go to your Lord Oh mother hear me dragging my bones There's dirt and there's rope for my crooked little horns And I mangled my nails as the onlookers wailed This coffin lid's covered all the things that I've known Wretched old demons that scratch at my door Levity's a place I don't go anymore I'm drained and I'm drawn and my hands feel like claws So pack up your troubles and go to your Lord Nightmares feel like I'm still awake Levity's far from this difficult place Lay down my body with limestone and boards Head off the Devil and go to your Lord
